STINK FACTOR

before I start this post I must admit that I have BLOGGED on the topic of STINK FACTOR beforethen again I have Bitched and Blogged about cars in traffic beforesoI BLOG on these topics again.... that is what I dobut honestly.... my archives are always more interesting.... there was a time when I was a far more interesting blogger and perhaps a far more interesting person

do I dare just cut and paste the old article here?no.... but check the my archives link above and go and scan down to see that I sound pretty much the sameif nothing else you may get a kick out of my wonderful pictures or my BUSH BASHING

let the rants begin....STINK FACTOR IIlast night I did looped the Park Road hill in front of my house several times as a substitute for a ride that I really did not have time to takewhile speeding downhill against the wind I took in a deep breath of airthe air was not freshthe air was tainted by the essence of my commuter back packlike a carton of milk that has gone bad or a 6 ounce tub of sour cream that has gone goodthis back pack is exceeding its sell by datesure it may be good for a week or two past this dateokay.... I may be able to hold my nose and extend the use a little furtherbut it certainly time to retire this old backpack... this old backpack that is not so oldyet it is time just the same

sureI can wash itbut the STINK FACTOR is strongcleaning the backpack with OXYCLEAN or FEBREEZE may give a temporary solution to the problembut just one or two healthy sweats and I will certainly be smelling the sweats of a few hundred rides with this backpack over the last few yearsso it is time to head over to City Bikes and invest in a few things... a few things including backpack, gloves, and shortsthe shorts don't stinkbut I can use some more shorts

such replacements are not just for mebut for the people I encounter throughout my daythe handshake on the streetthe passing in the halls as I arrive to workI do not want to smell like I am homelessif I smell like I am homeless I may get fired from my job which could make me homelessthis needs to be avoided
